Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Chapter 48 Excavation and Introduction

The person who came in was none other than Tian Guofu!

Chen Hai paused for a few seconds, then stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, quickly stood up, and said respectfully:

"Secretary Tian."

"Chen Hai, smoking in the office is not encouraged!" Tian Guofu walked in with a smile, not actually pursuing the matter of smoking. He found a chair in front of Chen Hai, sat down, looked up at the entire office, and sighed:

"Chen Hai, you've been wronged."

These words struck a chord with Chen Hai.

Regardless of how sincere Tian Guofu was, Chen Hai still felt a pang of sorrow.

The head of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Handong Province personally visited the door and began by offering words of comfort; anyone would have been unable to control their emotions in that situation.

Tian Guofu patted Chen Hai on the shoulder and continued:

"Has it been a week since you started working in the political department?"

Chen Hai nodded without saying a word.

"A talent like yours shouldn't be wasted here," Tian Guofu said with a smile.

"I'm here to tell you that Handong can't do without your anti-corruption bureau, and even more so, it can't do without you, Chen Hai. Keep a low profile and wait to be called upon at any time."

Chen Hai was taken aback.

Then, a mix of grievances, resentment, and the affirmation and expectations he heard in Tian Guofu's words overwhelmed Chen Hai, making him lose control.

He stood up abruptly, gave a perfect salute, and roared:

"Please rest assured, Secretary, Chen Hai will certainly live up to the organization's trust!"

"Very good! That's exactly how it should be!" Tian Guofu nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, another person who had encountered the same situation as Chen Hai also did not leave.

Hou Liangping, who had been given a major demerit, was frantically searching for information in his office.

He desperately needs a turning point to clear his name of the major demerit he has been given.

Therefore, Hou Liangping decided to change direction, avoid Ouyang Qing, and find a new breakthrough.

He had thought that Ouyang Qing's handover to the Discipline Inspection Commission would uncover some information.

To everyone's surprise, the disciplinary committee released him in less than two days.

We then took some measures that had almost no impact.

Anyone could see that Ouyang Qing had simply passed the buck to the Discipline Inspection Commission, effectively minimizing the seriousness of the matter.

Hou Liangping couldn't understand why the Discipline Inspection Commission not only didn't investigate the matter, but also refused to acknowledge it, given that the evidence was clearly conclusive.

Hou Liangping began to distrust Tian Guofu.

He needs to rely on his own abilities to find clues related to Ding Yizhen's escape, and then break through the Guangmingfeng project and Shanshui Group!

……

Sha Ruijin's office.

After returning from the procuratorate, Tian Guofu went straight to meet Sha Ruijin.

Although it was already 10 p.m., Sha Ruijin was still full of energy. After playing basketball, taking a shower and changing clothes, he returned to his office to wait for Tian Guofu.

Tian Guofu reported Chen Hai's situation to Sha Ruijin, who nodded slightly and said:

"Let's leave Chen Hai's matter here for now. Although Chen Yanshi hasn't made a statement, we've already expressed our concern for his son."

"Secretary Sha, I still don't understand why we keep trying to appease that old geezer Chen Yanshi?" Tian Guofu sneered.

"It's one thing for him to interfere in the work of the Provincial Party Committee, but Chen Yanshi is 70% responsible for how things have escalated to this point! And Secretary Sha, you are certainly aware of his usual behavior."

Sha Ruijin laughed heartily, personally poured Tian Guofu a cup of tea, pushed it towards him, and comforted him:

"Guofu, don't be impatient. I believe Chen Yanshi is hiding some crucial intelligence, which he won't reveal unless absolutely necessary."

Tian Guofu fell silent and took a small sip of tea.

He knew that Chen Yanshi was the ruthless character who forced Zhao Lichun to write a self-criticism back then, and also the recipient of the title of anti-corruption fighter.

He might actually possess important information about Zhao Lichun and the Zhao family.

Unfortunately, Chen Yanshi never mentioned these contents, nor did he show any intention of revealing them to anyone.

This includes Sha Ruijin conspiring with himself to shift the blame for the illegal investigation of Ouyang Qing onto Chen Hai.

The purpose was to see if Chen Yanshi would risk everything to plead for his son and offer something he wouldn't normally offer in exchange.

It now appears that Chen Yanshi has not reacted at all, even though his son Chen Hai has been demoted.

Does he feel there's no need to take it out, or does he simply not have anything at all?

Tian Guofu couldn't understand this.

But since Sha Ruijin thought Chen Yanshi was a worthwhile investment opportunity, Tian Guofu was happy to indulge in his old man-pleasing fantasies with Chen Yanshi.

Anyway, it's just a matter of saying a few nice words.

"By the way, how's that son-in-law of the Zhong family doing?"

Sha Ruijin asked the question as if it were casual.

Tian Guofu knew that this was exactly what Sha Ruijin wanted to hear, so he answered very seriously:

"Hou Liangping is now putting in a lot of effort and wants to accomplish something; he's feeling wronged."

"Hahaha, this kid." Sha Ruijin shook his head and said:

"He doesn't understand. Ouyang Qing can be investigated, but not in this way. To publicly name and investigate a Standing Committee member's family member at a Standing Committee meeting, the groundwork required is considerable..."

After a pause, Sha Ruijin continued:

"Let Li Dakang and the Guangming District handle the Dafeng Factory matter for now. Don't keep an eye on it yet; it's not the right time. You shouldn't investigate the people either; it's too sensitive and might alert them. We should start with the industries and projects—these are the inanimate objects—and gradually uncover the whole picture."

Tian Guofu replied:

"Okay, Secretary Sha."

……

On the other side, in the office of the Minister of the Organization Department.

Xia Qing stared intently at the screen, her brain working at a rapid pace.

It will soon be 16, and the wave of economic development is getting stronger and stronger.

In this context, the ability to develop the economy is the greatest skill.

The most significant achievement would be boosting the economy of Handong.

It's not hard to understand why Li Dakang still used tough measures to push forward the Guangming Peak project after Ding Yizhen's incident.

Its profound impact on the economic development of Handong is a tangible achievement, enough to allow Li Dakang to advance further.

This also explains why many companies have problems, but Handong always turns a blind eye to them and even cooperates with them in the economic field.

There's no other reason than that these groups can indeed make money and bring benefits to Handong.

At the same time, constrained by traditional economic models, the main source of profit is real estate projects, such as selling land and developing projects.

If this continues, economic development will be abnormal and unhealthy.

Perhaps the province also wants to carry out economic transformation, but it is struggling to find a suitable candidate.

Xia Qing was thinking about what would happen if he could discover outstanding cadres in the economic field.

We made advance arrangements to bring these people to the forefront and put them in the sight of the provincial party committee and government.

To create a reserve pool of outstanding cadres in the economic field at the provincial level.

If a large-scale economic transformation is needed in the future, there will be no shortage of people who can use it!

At that time, Xia Qing's discovery of these people in advance was another great achievement!

And these people will also feel grateful to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing decided to further refine the research, focusing on understanding cadres who are capable and skilled in economic matters and including them in the reserve pool.

The specific approach is to directly examine the cadre's performance in the economic field.

The performance in three areas—economic indicators growth, investment attraction, and business environment—will be used as the criteria for identifying outstanding cadres.

Lower-ranking cadres who have no achievements yet, or young cadres who are just starting out, can be approached and learned about as long as they have ideas and thoughts on economic matters, and then be included in the talent pool.

We welcome all who come, and promote only the talented.

At the same time, Xia Qing also plans to personally draft a talent introduction plan for the economic field.

On one hand, we discover local resources, and on the other hand, we introduce them from other places.

Taking a two-pronged approach is the greatest effort the Organization Department can make in terms of personnel in this era of great economic development!

Once an idea comes to mind, thoughts flow like a spring.

All the things to do piled up at once.

Xia Qing gave a wry smile and sent the specific directions for discovering outstanding cadres, as well as the ideas for talent introduction programs in the economic field, that he had just come up with via email to each of the vice ministers...
